We enjoyed our 3 night stay here very much. It had everything we needed, well equipped kitchen, washer/dryer and comfortable bed. The cottage was only about 20 minutes from Denali. The road in to the cottage was a little rough but no problem for our sedan. The hosts were excellent and easy to communicate with if need be. I would stay here again.

Lovely property and view

My husband and I enjoyed 3 nights here while visiting Denali NP. We were about 15 min away from the visitor center and very close to gas stations/restaurants. The property is immaculate, well stocked, clean, and quiet and restful. We highly recommend and would love to return for a future stay!

Healy stay

This property is about as perfect as we could have hoped for. Location is great if you’re visiting Denali. The deck on back of home is perfect to hang out on. We got to see a mama moose and her calf right in the “backyard”. We would absolutely stay here again.

Cozy cabin near Denali

This cabin is very cozy and clean. It is a short and beautiful drive to Denali. We loved coming back to a quiet peaceful place with fall color right off the deck and nice views when the rain let up. The bed is very comfortable and the hosts thought of all you might need. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and definitely hope to stay again. All around great place to stay.

Lovely Cabin with everything you need

We stayed two nights and loved it. The cabin is only 15 minutes from the park entrance and near food and supplies. Yet it is off the beaten and noisy path and peaceful. We enjoyed the view of the woods while we had breakfast and the interior of the cabin is beautiful. It's well furnished and the kitchen had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this cabin as the ideal place to stay while visiting Denali.

Excellent choice

The cottage was clean, comfortable, well laid out, and had everything we needed for our stay. It was clear the hosts cared about the satisfaction of their guests. The cottage was also a great alternative to staying in a local hotel. No noisy crowds or crowded restaurants. Just a nice quiet space of our own. Thanks to the hosts

Talkeetna Charming

My husband and I truly enjoy our stay in the charming tiny cabin that fits perfectly with the charm of Talkeetna. It was clean, cozy and stocked with everything that you could need and more. Communication with host was easy and we appreciate their genuine willingness to do whatever needed to make our stay pleasant. Make sure to take the hike down to fish lake and plan time for an adult beverage at the nearby Denali Brewing.

Modern Gem in the Wild

We had a great week. The cabin was completely modern and very well done. Yet stuck next to the wilds of the Alaska landscape. Our host was very responsive and had lots of notes to help us out. The cabin was also very stocked on a number of items. Really enjoyed it.
